Background and aim: The PNPLA3 rs738409 C> G polymorphism has been found to be
strongly associated with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and with alcoholic liver disease …

Purpose: The correlation between patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3
(PNPLA3) rs738409 polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated by …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Several studies have reported an association between the genetic
variant rs738409 (G) in the PNPLA3 gene and the risk of cirrhosis in various liver diseases …

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing in Western countries.
Although several clinical factors have been identified, many individuals never develop HCC …

Background An isoleucine> methionine mutation at position 148 in the PNPLA3 gene (p.
I148M, rs738409) has recently been identified as a susceptibility factor for liver damage in …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an emerging epidemic with high prevalence in
Western countries. Genome‐wide association studies had reported that a variation in the …

Background & Aims Aim of this study was to evaluate whether the PNPLA3 I148M
polymorphism, previously associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk, influences …

The human patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing-3 (PNPLA3) gene rs738409 C> G
polymorphism is associated with several types of liver disease. The aim of this meta-analysis …

Background & Aims Subtle inter-patient genetic variation and environmental factors combine
to determine disease progression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Carriage of …

Aim The PNPLA3 rs738409 C> G polymorphism (encoding for I148M) has recently been
identified as a susceptibility factor for steatosis‐mediated liver damage. We evaluated the …
